After spending the first six seasons of his career in Chicago, Jimmy Butler was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves during Thursday’s draft as part of a mega-deal.
Butler vented some frustration about how the organization handled the move, but it’s clear his passion for the city that watched him grow as a 21-year-old rookie to a three-time All-Star still holds strong.
The former Bulls star delivered a genuine tribute on Instagram to the fans, city and organization less than 24 hours after the trade was done.
